The Use of Zirconia in Today’s CAD/CAM World

This evidence-based CE webinar will explore the expanding role of zirconia in modern chairside dentistry, with a special focus on restoring dental implants using the long-awaited hybrid zirconia implant abutment block. This innovative material offers unprecedented versatility, enabling clinicians to design and fabricate either screw-retained or cement-retained implant restorations from a single block. Participants will gain practical insight into clinical case selection, optimal preparation design, and strategies to streamline the zirconia workflow—from digital impression to finishing and delivery. Emphasis will also be placed on bonding and cementation protocols critical to the long-term success of zirconia restorations. You won’t want to miss Dr. Dhaval Patel share his experience and knowledge! During this CE webinar, we will Identify clinical situations in which zirconia is the material of choice for both tooth-borne and implant-supported restorations; Describe the ideal preparation guidelines necessary to achieve predictable fit, strength, and esthetics with zirconia; Implement an efficient and reproducible zirconia workflow, including chairside CAD/CAM design and speed-sintering protocols; Explain the versatility and indications of the new hybrid zirconia implant abutment block for screw- or cement-retained implant restorations; Apply evidence-based bonding and cementation protocols to ensure optimal clinical outcomes and restoration longevity.
